We were advised we had been upgraded to a larger unit which was ideal for our family situation. The heating was on so the unit was so cosy. The owners went the extra mile by placing cardboard on our car window to prevent the frost taking hold overnight. What great service and very thoughtful.

Lovely spot and easy to get to and from town, restaurants and the Burt Munro rally. Motel owner kindly dropped us off at a venue which was appreciated as the weather was not kind.
